  • Patent number: 11975508
    Abstract: A method to produce a veneer element, including defects and dense portions. The method includes providing a substrate, providing a sub-layer, including a binder and colored filler particles, applying the sub-layer on a first surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure, preferably heat and pressure, to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, thereby forming a veneer element wherein, after pressing, the sub-layer is visible through a defect of the veneer element such as crack, cavity, hole and/or knot of the veneer layer. Also, a veneer element.

  • Publication number: 20200001359
    Abstract: Particles each having a sinterable core and a polymeric coating on at least a part of the core, wherein the polymeric coating includes a polymer that can be removed via decomposition by heat, catalytically or by solvent treatment, and wherein the polymeric coating is present in an amount of 0.10 to 3.00% by weight, relative to the total weight of the particles, as well as the use of these particles in an additive manufacturing process such as a powder bed and inkjet head 3D printing process. The particles and the process are able to provide a green part having improved strength and are thus suitable for the production of delicate structures which require a high green strength in order to minimize the risk of structural damage during green part handling.
